Feeling the Enemy.

Col. William W. Lang, the counsel
at Hamburg, has a characteristic REM
iniscence of Southern fighting meth
DDS during the rebellion. Col. Greene,
of Texas, was a dashing, lnvlncible
cavalry officer, who rushed preclpi-
lately into battle without any plans
or preconceived notions. He had a
simple way OF firing his command
with reckless enthusiasm. Whenever
old Greene tugged his wide-brimmed
hat down over his eyes and shouted.
"Boys, l want few volunteers"
every one knew it was to do
or die. In anticipation of
Gen. Wetzel's march from
New Orleans to Port Hudson with
1000 troops and supplies for the re-
lief of the beleaguered garrison. Col.
Lang secuted the intermediate coun-
try and. with Gen. Taylor, OF the con-
federate infantry, planned an intercept
ton and battle. Greene was called to
the council and ordered to move out
with his 1, 500 cavalry to "fool' the
advancing Unionists and then re-
treat and draw them into an ambush
of A, 900 infantry and artillery. The
intrepid Texan, unaccustomed to
this kind OF warfare, upon receiving
the orders scratched his head resent
fully, though he finally obeyed with
out any uttered protest. His COM
mand on that memorable occasion
was a detected "Well, come along.
boys" There was more of the funeral
than the martial air in the advance,
but after having got beyond the
sight of headquarters change came
over the spirits of the column. Greene
halted and made this adde's: "Boys,
1 want a few volunteers" One long,
loud shout answered him. When they
came in sight of the Unionists q wild,
sweeping charge was made with Greene
in the lead, and Wetzel and his entire
command were captured, while Taylor
was complacently waiting for the ex-
pected victory of his ambuscade. The
success of Greene's impetuosity
could not appease Taylor's anger and
disappointment, however.
"You have disobeyed youah aw-
dahs, sah," said he. II told you
plainly to only feel the enemy"
"Well, general" replied the Texan,
playing sheepishlv with the brim OF
his hat, call know about feelin' the
enemy is to pitch in and fight 'em like
h-l."-Chicago News.

Where Slate Pencils Come
From,

In the northwestern part OF the
town OF Castleton, Rutland county,
Vt, is the only mandatory in the
United States OF slate pencils. The
stone as it comes from the quarry is
first sawed into blocks from four to
seven inches wide, according to the
length desired for the pencils. These
are split quite easily with chisel into
slabs a little thicker than the finished
pencils-say SIG OF an inch. These
are passed through planning machine
and over an emery belt to make them
flat, smooth, and OF q uniform
thickness OF about 3-16 of an inch
Next day they are pushed into the
laws OF a Crocodile" which consists
OF a pair of steel plates, in the under
one OF which are six rows OF curved
knives, each set so as to cut n little
deeper than the one that went before
it. These pillow out parallels grooves
half way through the slab, which q
man then turns and lays on steel
plate, having ridges which lust fit
these grooves. This slides back under
the six rows Of teeth ota second croco-
die laying in wait alongside which
cuts the grooves on the other side,
and leaves the pencils side by side.
Lastly, they are broken and rolled
off for an instant to point them upon
an emery belt. A man can give this
last touch to about 5000 in day.
The average daily output is about
$4,000, and the mill gives employ
ment to some twenty-five hands. The
old plan was to saw out square pen
ellis from the slab one by one. These
were boxed and distributed among
poor families. who whitfield them
rocnd by hand at from quarter to
half q dollar per thousand.

The Puritan toremothers went to
